Unsteadily awaken to Arise in repeat That far long scent triggers memories all too sweet Inhale to a portion, A portion of his past, Now puzzled on how long he can make this memory last Losing all that feeling he once felt, Slipping out of this emotional state If his mind had hands of its own He would have sustained that thought long ago The conscious seed of light, Adjusting to his impairment Pursuing the everlasting feeling of enlightenment Bring forth the lost mentality Most men spend their entire lives searching for the moment of clarity Oh the rush and how it feels so fine Like nova cane injected into my spine Seeing everything that he once cared about But it all means nothing now Omissions from the centric flow His senses reveal what no one knows All memories retrieved arise in repeat Detachment from these humane elements Omissions from the centric flow His senses reveal what no one knows All memories retrieved arise in repeat Descending backwards into that state of mind Stray away…

Deep between subsequent space and time Where I exist, where I've always been I am god, I am man, I am nothing Shifting between the focus of reality I see through time, experience all at once And without measure Unbound temporal senses I must seek to change man's finality Nuclear demise, slowest of all deaths Rampant, starvation plagues the world -Society Crashes in on itself- Amidst the violence and injustice No one shall survive No force can balance the weight, Of every human mind Embedded into the eternal cosmos Life subject to the judgment of infernal god Amidst the violence and injustice No one shall survive Repetition of sins flow in perfect time Irreverent time, imperfect lines Your human mind, catatonic Will play host to Armageddon Present the superfluous choice To create destroy, or maintain and falter Bring forth the very end of all An act of mercy disguised as death You cannot perceive all the things I see Infinite occurrence repeat instantaneously I am god. I am man, I am nothing Shifting between the focus of reality I see through time, experience all at once And without measure Unbound temporal senses, I must seek to find my finality I experience without measure

I awaken with, no memory of life Though I feel the omniscient is inside me Course through my veins, abduct my brain. In this catatonic state I am enlightened Plain white, Sterility surrounds me Wooden Visage of the lord observes my being Tubes and wires force me to be, force me to see. The universe, inside these four walls All of existence, trapped within my skull Is this really life? All is pain Infinite knowledge, driving me insane No speech no, sound Just thoughts and sights Deconstruct the man that I used to be, tear him limb from limb. Erase this life. I'll be born again In this catatonic state I am enlightened Plain white, Sterility surrounds me. Wooden Visage of the lord observes my being Tubes and wires force me to be, force me to see. Speaking to me, the only voice I hear. Caresses me with its cold and static logic I am alone, cannot express my fear Wooden Christ speaks and I'm force to listen Seeping through me, the plague of godly sin I hear clearly the tone of his acid whisper I am not alone, I am never alone We become one in the birth of the Omni savior This birth negates me, I face immortality. Deconstruct the man that I used to be, tear him limb from limb Erase this life I'll be born again, born again, again, again. I awaken with no memory of life Though I feel the omniscient is inside of me You are my veins, you are my brain.

An intersection of perspectives Stretching like the ocean's tide. We've been lost at sea for far too long now, We are losing all placements within our abyss of time. Raise the anchor to set the sail. Optimism waits for all whom can bare. The ocean speaks; in the distance I hear its voice. Crying "steer the helm; proceed to follow its course, rise above, resisting all force." Reassure this mental deficit, proceed further from existence, Swallow these empty shore sides whole / as we ride a recurring current. As our voyage turns the ores, we'll drift off into the sea, No sense of direction, No compass to lead. A stirring of notions exists within my ocean. I fail to perceive all feelings plundering forth. These eyes rotate backwards into my skull, I stare at quoted questions written in bold Oh conceptions, thrusting full of deception, x3 how you fit it all perfectly into my brain...... Raise the anchor to set the sail. Optimism waits for all whom can bare. Submerged between ocean and air Confronted by the age of despair Reassure this mental deficit, as we proceed to further / from our existence, Only to swallow these empty shore sides whole / as we ride a recurring current. From the furthest my vision can see An over whelming confusion is consuming me. I've abandoned my skin My wounds are open as the salt is welcomed in. Reassure this mental deficit, as we proceed to further / from our existence, Only to swallow these empty shore sides whole / as we ride a recurring current. The ocean speaks; in the distance I hear its voice. Crying "steer the helm proceed to follow it's course, Rise above, resisting all force." This tidal wave with an impact of cement force will seal graves at the ocean's floor.

Negative space envelopes me, I have found purpose in the undoing- of purpose in and of itself. Nothing truly drowns in a sea of emptiness. Can you see it? Cosmic inversion. Behold; all is one and it too shall be nothing. Cataclysmic, this incursion. We’ll find salvation in death, the one true emptiness. Revert to one, the natural sun – preceding stars and the bedlam of existence The careful equations- keeping, bodies in rotation unwind, unhinge. The cure for excessive matter- moving through a vacuum Destiny will be unwritten, all frivolous life, undone through my bitterness Behold: all that is left of creation, a monochrome of eternity- in the breadth of a single atom. It too shall be extinguished, and I with it. Finally free of this temporal stasis. What is perceived as time fails I float through hallways without structure. What is perceived as time fails. I am one with the intangible. In chaos we have found form, in essence; all has been unified. We are slaves to the stillness Shed this - diminutive form. In this instance I am at peace, shape and form no longer matter. At one with the void… At one with the void… In this epoch of emptiness…
